Once in a while, as in once a year, I think it is important for socialists
to celebrate as socialists. May Day is perfect for that. Identity politics
for socialists, if you will. I see nothing wrong with it.

And it was nice to get in touch with all kinds of groups, have all kinds of
netwrok opportunities and listen to some good and some bad speeches.

I mean, grant Larry Holmes that he rules at the podium ;-)

I missed it utterly , but people I trust put it at  no more than
5,000-8,000. And I agree Union Sqr was 1,000 +/- 200
